The assault on the 1st Amendment that is being planned by the government and the extremist Left is not limited to their desire to silence conservative talk radio. Newspapers and television are not immune to the anti-First Amendment efforts that are at work here. In addition, the internet is also a target for receiving the restrictive aspects of the so-called “Fairness Doctrine” as a means of stifling criticism for anything that is being reported or commented upon. Apparently the administration wishes to silence any avenue from which the truth can escape the yoke of government tyranny. ~ Roger Hedgecock, Talk Host and Chairman of The American Radio Free Speech Foundation and DontTouchMyDial.com

For a fleeting moment earlier this year, we thought we had a victory on free speech. The Senate had an 87-11 vote on a rider to the D.C. voting rights bill. They called it the Broadcaster Freedom Act (BFA), and it would once and for all end the Fairness Doctrine.

But the enemies of free speech don’t give up that easily, and they wrap themselves in groups with names like “Free Press” and “Media Matters.”
